Reauest to County Court;
Original Plans Are Cited
The State Highway commission will

Fifth street routing. This announce
ment was made at Salem Monday by
R. A. Booth, chairman of the commiss
ion. The commission, it has indicated,
has reconsidered its attitude upon the
question, pursuant to the agreement
of the city council to improve Seventh
street a3 the permanent routing as
soon as the funds became available.
This agreement was made contingent
upon the establishment ot Fifth street
as the temporary route for the pres
ent time.
This action will, it is understood,
eliminate the consideration of the Ca
nemah roadway. The highway com
mission recently ordered the survey
of the basin route continued at it was
believed that the plans for the con
struction of the bluff route, either by
Fifth or Seventh streets, had been
held up
A petition was placed in circulation
Monday among the residents of Ca
nemah asking the county court to va
cate lower Main street and the Cane
mah road way as originally asked by
the P. R. L. and P. as one of the con
siderations upon which their coniriDu
tion toward the South Bind road was
contingent. The entire matter of the
vacation, la under the consideration of
the county court on advisement fol
lowing a hearing about two months
ago. '
The petition asks that the road be
vacated upon the same conditions pro
posed in the original agreement
whereby the P. R- L. and P. is to ex
tend its car service to Canemah, fur
nish lights for the city, and establish
a 5 foot walk between the city limits
and Canemah. Under a later agree
ment a six foot walk was to be pro
vided. .
PROTECTION PLEDGE OF
SOVIET IS WITHDRAWN
MOSCOW, Oct. 21. The soviet
government has withdrawn its guar
antee of protection to foreigners - at
Vladivostok, owing to the Japanese
demand that the Mikado's troops must
be permitted to complete evacuation
of the city before the Russians march
in, Foreign Minister Tehitcherin told
the Uunited Press today.
Under this plan the city will be clear
of both. Japanese and Russian troops
for a time and the soviet government
will not be responsible for what may
occur during that period.
American and British" marines af
reported to have landed at Vladivostok
to protect foreigners.
Te situation at Vladivostok is this:
The Japanese have agreed to with
draw and let the troops of the Russian
Far Eastern army occuy the city.
Tehitcherin said to the. United Press
correspondent today that the Japanese
are demanding that the Russians
withdraw to a considerable distance
and enter Vladivostok only after the
Japanese have marched out, some time
after October 25.
The soviet commanders protest that
a dangerous period will ensue.
"All responsibility for everything
which may happen falls fully upon the
Japanese, especially as they already
have begun destroying the fortifica
f tions, artillery depots and explosives,"
said Tehitcherin.

The Cross Recall
U NLESS UNEXPECTED complications intervene,
the recall of Harvey E. Cross, county judge, will
go upon the November 7 ballot. Five charges have
been publicly made against the judge, and the sponsors
of the recall movement indicate that they have further
facts to offer.
Recall of a public official is a serious matter. It
should be invoked only in cases of extreme inefficiency,
or malfeasance. The definite charges upon which such
an action is based, should be public property in suffi
cient time to allow the accused officer an answer. The
submission of the matter to the people for a decision
is then justified. ' ' . '
If the proponents of the recall have nothing to
present other than their five charges, it would not
appear that there is sufficient ground for the recall. The
charge of extravagance is not substantiated by accurate
figures, nor is the charge that pensions have been ruth
lessly curtailed. Charges of curt treatment and fail
ure to visit road districts after promising to do so, are
not in themselves, sufficient for such, an attack. The
charge that the judge has been unjust in the handling
of juvenile court cases, before it can be accredited,
must be substantiated by definite facts and figures.
It is charged by the judge that the proponents of
the recall are sponsoring the movement out of personal
prejudice. The value of the recall law is dependent
upon being safeguarded against use as a weapon of
spite and jealousy.
If the recallers have evidence of a weighty char
acter, the period has arrived in the campaign when it
should be presented. If they are sincere in their pur
pose, it should have taken tangible facts to give rise to
the movement. The patent unpopularity of an officer,
should that officer be honest and reasonably efficient,
should not be capitalized for his recall.
The records of the county are public property and
those interested may peruse them. The, location of
any, dishonesty, favoritism, or serious inefficiency
should; result in a recall as the remedy which the law
provides. ' .
The question of whether or not Harvey E. Cross
shall remain in office should be decided purely upon
the basis of the facts. The recallers intimate that
their active campaign awaited the formal filing of
the petitions. That time is now passed. The public
and the press await the illumination of whatever may
be wrong jwith he present administration before it
condemns or approves.
I.W.W.'S RELEASED BY
PORTLAND POLICE JUDGE
PORTLAND, Oct. 21. In contrast
to this action on Thursday in banish
ing 16 members of the I. W. W.
from the city, Municipal Judge EkwaU
this morning considered a similar
number of cases under charges of va
grancy, and released the entire lot of
16 men unconditionally.
The judge made no statement re
garding his reversal in attitude after
hearing the pleas of the 16 men, some
of whom admitted membership in the
I. W. W. The men had prepared them
selves by engaging an attorney 'and,
it is said, threatened legal battle if
they were convicted as were the men
banished on Thursday.
"The executive office will go the
limit," Governor Ben W. Olcott this
morning proclaimed in answer to
Mayor George L. Baker's appeal for
cooperation in handling the problem
of eradicating I. W. W. Involved in
Portland's waterfront labor trouble. .
In responding to Mayor Baker's re
quest the Adjutant -General White be
assigned to investigate here and stand
ready to aid the governor wired this
morning from The Dalles, where he is
oS a campaign tour:
"ArMntont (General White reported
out of Salem, returned Saturday.
Have filed request to have him pro
ceed to Portland at once upon his re
turn and report to you. The executive
office will go the limit in stamping
I. W. W-ism out of the state and coun
ty." With the first burst of hysteria over,
the militant police campaign against
the I. W. W. looked today much like a
man firing a 10-gauge shotgun at a
house fly.
In short, the army appears to have
been decimated. There were 67 va
grants on the, police, blotter, but
whether they are all affiliated with the
I. W. W. has not been determined.
Adding to these the 23 deported yes
terday by the police and the seven
senced to jail by Judge Deich of
the district court, and the public has
the total of Portland's own internal
war. "

MOLALLA MAN IS FOUND
DEAD: CAUSE UNKNOWN
Gust Johnson Discovered In
Barn; No Marks Seen On
Body; Violence Is Scouted.
Gust Johnson, of Molalla, was found
dead in his barn Thursday evening at
5:30 o'clock.
Johnson had been engaged in work
ing in. the field during the morning,
and the last seen of him alive by his
wife was about 1 o'clock when he
brought his horses to the barn with
the intention of feeding them.
When the husband failed to appear
his wife becoming anxious about his
absence investigated and going to the
barn found him dead on the floor near
the horses' stall. The nearest neigh
bor, H. O. Newell, residing about one
half mile from the Johnson farm, was
summoned, and an investigation made.
There was no marks to show that the
man had met with foul play, but when
Harvey Everhart, undertaker and close
friend of the decease, was preparing
the body for embalming discovered
bruises on the inside of John's chest.
It is believed by neighbors and friends
that he may have been caught be
tween the stall and one of the horses
and crushed. The horses remained at
the stall untied. There was a slight
mark on the side of the neck.
Deceased had resided in the Molalla
country since childhood, and his death
came as a shock to his friends and rel
atives. He was about 35 years of age.
and Is survived by his wife and three
small daughters, the oldest about four
years of age, and the youngest five
months.
The funeral services are to be held
on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, with
the Molalla I. O. O. P. Lodge No. 184,
of which the deceased was a member,
in charge of the services, and will
be assisted by Rev. A. J. Kester, pas
tor of the Methodist church of Molalla.
The service will be held in the Adams
cemetery, where interment will be in
the family lot.
Mrs. Johnson was Miss Louise Feyr
er, of Molalla, daughter of prominent
residents of that place.

OREGON CITY, ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY,
LOCAL TRAVELERS
Chris Crusis and Family of West Linn Return From
Extended Trip Throughout Continent.
Mr. and Mrs. Chris Crusius and lit
tle daughter, Margaret, who havebeea
on an extended -visit -in Europe, have
returned to their home at West Linn
after a delightful trip. Crusius saw
much new country, although he re
sided in Germany ten years ago. This
is his first visit to his native land In
that time, and the first visit "Mrs.
Crusius" has made to Europe, being a
native of New York City. While on
their way to Europe the Crusius fam
ily visited Mrs. Crusius' parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Frank A. Weis, of New York
City, also stopping there on the return
visit.
Passage was taken on the steamship
Orduna that sailed from New York on
May 27th. The sea was smooth, and
not even the little daughter, who is
three years' old, was seasick. The
first 8top was made, at Hamburg, Ger
many, where a stay of one and one
half days was enjoyed. In Dresdon,
Germany, they visited Mr. Crusius'
father. W. Crusius, who is still making
his home at the residence the family
has owned for years. A short distance
from that place they were guests of
Mrs. Carl Bauer, sister of Crusius
and her family. Mr. Bauer is superin
tendent of a large paper manufactur
ing establishment of that place.
OBERAMMERGAU VISITED.
Leaving the daughter at the Bauer
home Mr. and Mrs. Crusius started
on their sight-seeing trip. In southern
Germany they visited Munich and oth
er cities, among these being a small
cjty Oberammergau, where thew wit
nessed the Passion play, when over
5000 people attended. This, play was
composed of over 300 people, most
of whom resided in the little settle
ment. The play runs continuously dur
ing the day, except an hour's time for
dinner from 12 to 1 o'clock. Begin
ning at 8 a. m. the play runs from
that time to 6 p. m. As the admission
ticket Includes the dinner, this
amounts to about $1-25 In .American
money. Three performances are giv
en during the week, and the Crusius
family remained m that city for three
days, they found that all performances
were largely attended. During the
time they attended there were 5000
people in the audince. No one has
any idea of the wonderfulness of this
play, say Mr. and Mrs. Crusius until
one has seen the play himself.
The next trip was into Switzerland.
Among the places of interest in that
country were the Rigf mountains,
Zuerich and Lake Constance. Here
at these places the scenery was won
derful, and no painter's brush can do
justice to the panoramic view they
witnessed while traveling through
that country.
Paper Plant Inspected.
Leaving that country they went to
Wittenbrug. Germany, where rela
tives were visited, among these being
the owner of a large paper machinery
manufacturing establishment, and
then on to France, where they made
their first trip into Paris. Going to
that city they went by way of Stras
burg. and could see the battle fields
of Chateau Thierry, where marks of

VISIT PASSION PLAY
the battle still remain, for there were
strings of barb wire fencing construct
ed by soldiers during the war-time,
and marks where the guns had done
their deadly woric to buildings and
trees. A cemetery with graves of the
heroes, all marked by a cross could
be seen in the distance. They pass
ed through Nancy and other cities
while on their way to Paris. After ar
riving in the latter city one of the
first noticeable things on the streets
were the long, clinging skirts of the
women. It happened to be on Sunday
while in that city, and while stralling
along the boulevard witnessed a reg
ular "fashion show." They remained
in that city for nine days.
Places of interest in the big city
were visited, and then going into the
northern part of France they visited
the battle fields of St. Quentin, where
ruins caused from ravages of battle
were seen. Cathedrals, other build
ings, including the depot were badly
damaged. Many buildings have taken
the place of those destroyed in the
war. Going into Belgium, they first
visited Maubeuge, where the first
big guns ef battle were fired. Return
ing to Germany they again visitea
Berlin, where they remained for two
and one-halt days. Many American
people were seen by Mr. and Mrs.
Crusius while in that city. At Cologne
and Coblenz they saw many American
soldiers.
Fly For 165 Mile.
One of the most exciting experi
ences Mr. and Mrs. Crusius had while
on their European trip was the aero
plane flight from Berlin to Dresden,
a distance of 165 miles. This required
one and one-half hours time to make
the flight, the first experience Mr.
and Mrs. Crusius have had in an aero
plane, which proved a most wonderful
trfp. Winding rivers, castles and
mountains were .passed over and
many towns in the distance could be
seen.
' After returning to Dresden and to-.
: maining for a few days before start
1 ing on the homeward trip side trips
into the northern part of the country
t were tSken. Among these was to SI-
lesia, which is now in the hands of
I the Polish people. Denmark was an
l other country visited, their headquar-
ters being at Copennagen.
On September 2 the Crusius f am fly
started for home on the steamsnip,
Polonia, of the Baltic-American line.
The weather was anything but de
lightful. With high seas and a heavy
fog the ship made slower progress
than the trip made by the Crusius fam
ily to Kurope. Even little Margaret
did not miss a meal on board ship,
although there were many passengers
confined to their berths while com
ing across, who were afflicted with
seasickness.
Crusius says that conditions are de
plorable in some parts ot Europe he
and his family visited, and he says
"For myself I think there is no place
like America, and have come back to
stay." He has resumed his position
as mechanical engineer of the Crown
Willamette Paper Company with head
quarters at .West Linn.

TWO IRRIGATION
DISTRICTS TO BE
PUT ON BALLOT
December 9 Is Set By County
Court For Elections At
Molalla and Canby; Wide
Areas Will Be Affected
COST OF PROJECTS
MAY BE $250,000
Nine Thousand Acres Listed in
Proposed Improvement; No
Definite Data Yet Available
The formation of two irrigation dis
tricts giving Clackamas county the
first irrigation projects ever attempt
ed upon a sizeable basis, in this vi
cinity, will be voted upon December
9. Dates for the elections were set
Monday by the Clackamas county
court. The elections will be for the
selection of directors for the districts,
who will take charge of the work of
engineering and securing bids to de
termine the cost of the work. - When
this is determined,- the actual forma
tion of the district with a working
bonded capital, wiU be voted upon.
A total of 9,000 acres are included.
Of this. 5,000 is inclitled in the Canby
district and 4,000 in the Molalla dis
trict. Canby will get Its water from
the lower Molalla and Milk Creek and
Molalla from the upper Molalla river.
The cost of the two projects cannot

from figures secured some time ago,
will run about a quarter of a million.
A. move to tart an irrigation district
was launched in Canby some time
ago, and it was found that the main
ditches, latterals and small ditches
would total in cost about $30 an acre.
This would make this project cost
$150,000. No figures for the Molalla
project are available.
Some 15,000 acres not affected by
either of the two districts will be fn
line for irrigation after the comple
tion of the two present projects. At
